Antonio Brown has restructured his contract, according to a Wednesday social media post.

The Steelers' superstar receiver posted a video on Instagram with his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, saying they were signing paperwork that fully guaranteed Brown's salary for the upcoming season.

That moves Brown’s salary cap hit forward while not costing him any money, and gives the Steelers more cap room for the upcoming season.

The maneuver is common practice for the franchise. Linemen David DeCastro and Stephon Tuitt similarly restructured their contracts last month.
